You can bring as much cash as you want - you just have to declare it if you have more than $10K. And no - you will not be taxed if you bring more than $10K.

Just be a bit careful if u transit via USA and makes a stop there before continuing your journey to Canada. Us customs wants to know exactly how much u have in each currency. U need to be aware cos they will ask u to fill up another form before letting u go. All in all, expect to spend about 15 mins to clear this part. The entire process can be faster if u know exactly how much u have in each currency.

It is just for formality and u will not be taxed or anything.
